Chapter 564 - Hold It Steady!
In the previous wave, Unrivaled Super Hottie had pulled one of the stone statues away for the melee cla.s.ses, who couldn’t squeeze in, to attack. At that time, several Clerics surrounded Unrivaled Super Hottie waiting to act, so they had a good idea of how much damage Unrivaled Super Hottie would take from an enemy attack. This was why Happy Sheep was worried.
Many of the players rolled their eyes when they saw Unrivaled Super Hottie’s att.i.tude, but the Knights had already engaged with the stone statues in battle and several rounds pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. For Seven Blossom Leaves and the other tanks, the Clerics supporting them were busy healing. As for Unrivaled Super Hottie, the Clerics that Happy Sheep arranged to support him had their staffs raised, staring blankly at each other.
Why? Because there was nothing to do! The other Knights lost health rapidly while fighting against the stone statues, but Unrivaled Super Hottie hadn’t even taken a single hit yet.
This scene made everyone rub their eyes. The DPSers hadn’t moved yet. They were still waiting for the Knights to establish enough aggro. However, this allowed them see the distinct contrast between the Knights. Seven Blossom Leaves and the other Knights constantly had a white glow around them; their Clerics were very busy. Unrivaled Super Hottie didn’t have any glows around him; the surrounding Clerics could set up a table and start playing mahjong if they wanted to.
“This….. this…...:”
Everyone was speechless. They couldn’t find any words to describe the scene in front of them. What should they do? If he keeps fighting like that, did he even need them? Couldn’t he just kill it by himself?
Everyone was still in awe, when they suddenly heard a thump. Unrivaled Super Hottie had been hit by the stone statue’s spear. Seeing this attack hit the target, everyone unexpectedly let out a sigh of relief. If he actually kept on dodging and didn’t get hit by the stone statue, then he shouldn’t even be playing in the game.
The Clerics around Unrivaled Super Hottie scrambled to begin healing. Even though it had only been one hit, Unrivaled Super Hottie truly had lackl.u.s.ter equipment. A single hit from a hundred player dungeon monster hurt quite a bit, but with three Clerics, Unrivaled Super Hottie’s health quickly rose back to a safe level.
In addition, Unrivaled Super Hottie didn’t get hit by the follow-up attack. The next attack was dodged by him. His character was constantly moving; there was never a moment where he stood still. Everyone could see clearly now. Unrivaled Super Hottie’s fighting strategy wasn’t the normal strategy of a Knight. He treated the battle like a PvP match and was trying hard to make the enemy attacks ineffective.
This type of strategy relieved the need for the Clerics’ help. Using three Clerics to support Unrivaled Super Hottie was clearly excessive. The three had gotten into overhealing situations several times. Overhealing meant the amount they healed was greater than the health their target lost, which wasted mana and established needless aggro, so it wasn’t good.
The DPSers on Unrivaled Super Hottie’s side were very depressed too because with Unrivaled Super Hottie constantly moving around, the stone statue wouldn’t be staying still either. The melee DPSers had to constantly move around and the long-ranged DPSers had to constantly predict where the statue’s next move would be.
In any case, it was still easy dealing with the stone statue. No accidents came about, but this strategy relied on the player’s skill.
Because it depended on a player’s skill to work, it meant it had higher risk. As soon as the player made a mistake and the Clerics had to rapidly heal, the aggro might go off the tank. So even though the Clerics didn’t have much to do, they were still very focused.
The rest weren’t sure what to think of the situation.
They were obviously afraid that Unrivaled Super Hottie would make a mistake because a single mistake might get the Clerics killed. If the Clerics died, then the run would be over. They could kill off small monsters, but it would be difficult to beat any of the bosses.
But if this guy didn’t make any mistakes, then it meant that this guy had some serious skill. Most of them didn’t have that type of skill, so the guy that they had been looking down upon, suddenly became far greater than them. This wasn’t a good feeling.
To put it simply, it was a birds of a feather flock together issue.
The weak ones would be looked down upon. The strong ones would be pushed out. Only those at a similar skill level could coexist harmoniously.
The weak ones could be laughed at, but strong ones would leave a sour feeling when being excluded.
Most people hoped that others would be weaker than them, never stronger.
Thus, most of the players in Happy Sheep’s team hoped to see Unrivaled Super Hottie fail. However, their hopes never came true. Nothing dangerous had happened yet for Unrivaled Super Hottie, but the fourth tank had gotten into a crisis.
